Lucie's Review:
When my daughter told me that she had received confirmation of being on this lovely tour, I was thrilled! Last year When Calls the Heart became my favorite TV Show currently airing, I fell in love with town, and all of its wonderful inhabitants, so when I found out that I had the unique opportunity to see the first episodes of season 2 before it aired you can imagine how excited I was.

When Calls the Heart is the hit series that aired last year on the Hallmark Channel created based off of books originally written by Janette Oke, and put onto the small screen by Michael Landon Jr.

Season 2 picks up right where season one left off, with many returning faces, along with some new ones as well. I love that Abigail is back, as the voice of reason and encouragement of Coal Valley, yet her story has some new plot twists on their way.

Elizabeth is called home when her mother falls ill, and finds herself caught between two worlds. The one she came from and the frontier life she has come to love. And her parent's may just have a few tricks up their sleeves.

This is a terrific series, that celebrates faith, family, and community. I love every single one of the stories not just those of the main characters, but also of the side characters, they could probably make a spinoff series, and I would be just as invested in that too! From what I've seen of the second season, it is sure to be a good one! So if you haven't seen this show, I strongly recommend you give it a try, it's not often you find such a well made show that incorporates wholesome values into quality entertainment!Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog.

About the series:

The series is inspired by Janette Oke’s bestselling book series about the Canadian West. “WhenCallstheHeart” tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coalmining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Lori Loughlin plays Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Elizabeth charms most everyone in Coal Valley, except Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) who believes Thatcher’s wealthy father has doomed the lawman’s career by insisting he be assigned in town to protect the shipping magnate’s daughter. Living in a turn of the century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
